Pitx1 | Pituitary homeobox 1; Sequence-specific transcription factor that binds gene promoters and activates their transcription. May play a role in the development of anterior structures, and in particular, the brain and facies and in specifying the identity or structure of hindlimb. Can independently activate and synergize with PIT-1 on pituitary-specific target gene promoters, thus may subserve functions in generating both precursor and specific cell phenotypes in the anterior pituitary gland and in several other organs. Can activate pituitary transcription of the proopiomelanocortin gene. (315 aa) | ||||
Pcbd2 | Pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase 2; Involved in tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis. Seems to both prevent the formation of 7-pterins and accelerate the formation of quinonoid-BH2 (By similarity); Belongs to the pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase family. (136 aa) |
